The literary scene in India has no choice but to heed to the rippling
new voices emerging from quarters long quarantined as 'untouchable'.
The anthology of Dalit writing, to be brought out by the Oxford
University Press (OUP) soon, is a vehement declaration of the
suppressed identities and therefore is awaited with anticipation. The
OUP has announced the launch of the book in connection with the
Ambedkar Week, being celebrated in the country to commemorate the
birthday of the Dalit architect of the Indian Constitution on April
14.
The 'Anthology of Dalit Writing in Malayalam' is an ambitious project
in its scale with 36 writers, 58 selections and 18 translators. Noted
Dalit writers such as S Joseph, Sunny Kavikkad, Sasi Maduraveli, M B
Manoj, Sivadas Purameri, Pokkudan, T M Yesudasan and many others will
be featured in the volume. The selections will comprise poetry, short
fiction, biography, drama, prose and excerpts from novels. The volume
is complied by four editors - Dr M Dasan of Kannur University, Dr V
Prathiba of University of Calicut, Dr Pradeepan Pampirikkunnu of Sree
Sankaracharya University of Sanskrit and Dr C S Chandrika of
Pondicherry University - all of whom are writers who have made a mark
in contemporary Malayalam literature.
The Malayalam anthology is to have a sequel in Tamil which will also
be brought out this year. It is expected to feature 96 selections of
41 Dalit writers.
